Amethyst_isis, Smoking increases gastrointestinal motility (how your intestines move)when you quit, you intestines slow down. If you eat a diet high in fibre, dairy or leafy greens, this may be the culprit. Also have you been chewing regular gum? Bgaineshunter, Increase intake of dairy products, drink Gatorade, decrease fiber. Consult your MD if symptoms persist or worsen for more than a few days.

Hi Misty, By all means, keep asking questions! That's what I'm here for. Although fiber is known to help you produce bulky stool by pulling in excess water, it also promotes regularity. A low fiber diet is recommended until your diarrhea has subsided. Again, I must remind all members that if your diarrhea persists for more than a few days or worsens, consult your MD immediately. For those with IBS or other intestinal complications, always consult your doctor! Danielle ________________________ The SSC Support Team

Misty Moon, That wasn't for you but for your friend bgaineshunter with diarrhea. :) Definitely not for you because you're right dairy will make you more constipated and fiber does help you be regular. Danielle _______________________ The SSC Support Team

Dave, You can expect to feel nicotine withdrawal symptoms after you quit smoking. However, they usually improve after the first three or four days, depending on your level of nicotine addiction. Each smoker has different withdrawal symptoms - yours will be unique. Although they may be unpleasant, they do pass. When you experience withdrawal symptoms, remind yourself that each symptom is a sign of recovery - your body is in the process of healing itself. Think of withdrawal symptoms as growing pains. If you have a symptom that persists or seems worse than you expected, you should immediately consult a doctor. It�s possible that your smoking has been masking symptoms of some illness, and when you stop smoking the symptoms abruptly become noticeable.

Yep it happened to me too. But I thought it was just because i was eating a lot of mexican food, (my favorite). Mine were more about quantity (little toot every 15-20 minutes) than quality (they weren't very stinky) :) lol
